I set up a Xcode project to test it on iOS https://github.com/jdmoreira/KernelPanic-10LOC

It doesn't work on my device running iOS 8.1.2 Can someone confirm?

Edit: It works now!

Is it a 64-bit device? Does the program crash or exit gracefully? If it crashes, try bumping the library index argument here:

library = (char *) _dyld_get_image_header (1);

If you're unlucky library at index 1 contains mach_vm_read_overwrite and is suddenly no longer executable (since we change its second memory page from R-X to RW- due to stock kernels not allowing RWX pages).

I changed the code to https://gist.github.com/cfr/425812debdb2a6d0449f

It works now! Device restarts ;)

Excellent! :)
